1924 Hillclimber

This 1924 Hillclimber was campaigned for three decades (1934-1953) by
racing great Howard Mitzell from New York, Pennsylvania.
It is very rare model : the engine is one of twenty-five handmade in1924 by
Indian's experimental department. The 45-cubic-inch engine has overhead valves and
developed 60 horsepower on alcohol.
The bike is in original racing condition and has not been started in years,
but it still has plenty of compression. Text by Jeff Hackett
